Mediawiki Notes

Calendar

• The Week Numbers start on the Monday and end on the Sunday.
  • But the implementation on MediaWiki is that Sunday is Day 0 of the week and Saturday Day 6.

British Summer Time etc

• As a workaround, the time zone is set in Localsettings.php as Dublin during British Summer Time.
  • Return it to London when the clocks go back.

Mobile considerations

• The use of tables means wide, mobile-phobic pages.
• Tables result in their text contents often appearing in small font.
• The use of ; and : result in small font on mobile phones, whereas * does not.

HTML glitches

• If you cannot pass an '=' (equals sign) as a parameter, replace the = with %3D
